Dinnington Colliery Band require Tutti cornet/EEb Bass/Kit Player

Hi Everyone
A Happy New Year to all our fellow bandsmen/woman from DINNINGTON COLLIERY BAND. Why not make it a Happy Banding New Year? If you are looking for a band or just a change, why not join DCB we have a lovely set up with a good social side as well as the playing side of things. We are just a couple of players short on the line-up. Our M.D. Jonathan Beatty is the nicest most easy going 'Man in the middle' that you could wish to meet but nevertheless his approach works, we keep getting the results. WHY NOT COME AND GIVE US A TRY You could be going to Butlins with us and the Yorkshire Area. We have qualified for the National Finals for the past 2 years who knows, we could be 3rd time lucky. Contacts are on our website www.dinningtoncollieryband.co.uk We are only minutes away from J1/M18 or J31/M1

Thanks for your reply. This ad was not put on to get into a slanging match but I feel I must reply as I am not aware of anyone being insulted by my family we have always been more than accomodating to visitors. How do we know this is not just sour grapes from a rival band, after all I do put my real name and anyone can contact me via our website why don't you have the courage to do the same. A Happy New Year to you and your band.

I am not in a Band at the present due to having all my front teeth out, I also was not in a Band when I was invited down for a blow and was presented with a cornet which I would not give to a Learner, if you call that accomodating to visitors.
There is no sour grapes as you put it, just someone who is disgusted with the way I was treated.
My name is John Smith.
Happy New Year to you as well.

On reflection I realised it could only be you because you left to nip to the toilet and didn't even come back after our Principal tested the so called poor Sovereign but ' hey ho' as the saying goes 'a poor workman always blames his tools'.We are proud to say that all the players that have come through out bandroom door have stayed.

Dosen't have to be christmas or new year, If you don't wanna join, don't! Let people decide themselves!

Right on Stella. A band should be able to advertise on here for players without some miffed off muso sticking a malicious oar in.
Sometimes maturity and common sense are in short supply on tmp, though I must say that IM
O 95% of contributions are well judged and civilised.
Happy 2012 folks !

Hello 'John',

If you have a genuine gripe, perhaps it would be better to present that via PM in private to the relevant party. Your interference in a genuine band recruitment thread is childish, uncalled for and makes you look quite silly. :-?

I have no connection with Dinnington by the way (I've only seen this fab band previously on TV), but really, your actions are quite puzzling.

I was very perturbed with the comment made after placing our player ad. Thinking that out of an innocent ad. I could have damaged the band's reputation. As a result I decided I had made a bad decision to use tMP, thankfully however, my faith has now been restored by the supportive comments and I will continue trying to fill the odd vacancies using this site. So if there is anyone out there willing to give us a try we will guarantee u a pleasant evening if nothing else.

I entirely agree that this forum is not the place for airing personal grievances. There are more effective ways of doing that.

However, I would have thought that the mods are aware of this thread and, in the absence of any breach of the T&C, are letting it run. Having posts deleted just because you don't like the content would spell the death of the forum as a useful discussion arena, IMHO.

Each additional post brings the thread up to the top of the list. Perhaps a better way forward would be for no-one to make any further posts on this thread (or to lock it, if the mods think it appropriate so to do) and for the OP to start another 'Vacancies' thread afresh.
